You've tasted the blood on the lips of the ****** You've stabbed every back till you've settled your score Of Serpents and devils you lay in the shallows Twisting and squirming corrupt all that's hallowed Strangle the breath from their lungs evermore You are the scourge that was banished at sea You are the demon that's hiding in me Devil I am in the shell of a man Seeking this vengeance for those who've been ****** Finding no peace in the blood and gore Mindless this violence I crave something more Venom it flows from my every word Poisoning you till you lag from the herd Your moment of weakness is all you have left Watching you falter and take your last breath Beg to the God's that you've weathered your fate Hungry for freedom but can't get a plate Selfish you are when you give what you owe Thinking that kindness is what you bestow Greedy for pleasure you **** in the filth Drowning in drink just to numb out the guilt Bury yourself by the weight of your sins So lost in the rage you'd turn blade to your kin Captive you are to the way of the Gods Chosen your service but yet still do wrong The heart of a man is too quickly to break Under the pressure your smile will turn fake
Of Serpents and devils you live in a land drowned in dark and your future is woven by threads torn apart as the Norns seek to guide but you live by your heart not your mind as the wisdom you seek is the wisdom you find but not what you keep as you're searching the deep and the sky comes alive with the lighting and thunder you reach for a knife to sever the life, to sever the line, you think with this freedom your future is fine.
Suffocating the liars with the tongue that's dipped in gold, speaking gentle whispered whimsy from a heart of broken stone, Tragic fractures Pain of past Do you think this love will last? Cursed for sins by karmas hold, you play games but quickly fold, the hand you're dealt, the hand you stole, does seeking wealth make your soul whole
Driven by profit to substitute power that comes from the knowledge you lack Seeking the warmth of another like stars in the sky to ignore the endless black Holding to these words turned violent questions hit like loaded guns Fail to embrace the spirit resilient God will surely come And when his words descend upon you life has just begun
Of Serpents and devils you live in a land drowned in dark and your future is woven by threads torn apart as the Norns seek to guide but you live by your heart not your mind as the wisdom you seek is the wisdom you find but not what you keep as you're searching the deep and the sky comes alive with the lighting and thunder you reach for a knife to sever the life, to sever the line, you think with this freedom your future is fine.
Do not seek to beg and pray The wisdom comes on darkest days And when you think you've had enough, the Gods will come and call your bluff, then feed you misery 'till you' re stuffed
Karmas hold worth more than gold, can lie to man, can wear a mask, can preach a truth you seldom walk, but God knows all, the night and dawn, he does attack In little ways The smallest things The tiniest cuts are the most painful sting
